Comparative Analysis of Lower Limb Kinematics between the Initial and Terminal Phase of 5km Treadmill Running
Published on: July 17, 2020
Abstract:
In brief: The authors opened a runners' clinic to evaluate and treat problems of runners who run 20 miles a week or more. Of 161 patients treated during the first year, 49 had disorders of one or both knees. Fifteen complained of patellofemoral pain, 14 of iliotibial band pain, and 20 of medial or lateral pain. Extremity malalignment and other preexisting problems were involved in several cases. Treatment was mainly conservative, with some restriction or change in activity. One way to help prevent such knee problems is to limit sudden changes in workout intensity.

Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
